My first question....I am starting my first year at the high school level
after teaching elementary for two years. I was told I would only have art
1 this semester, however, they had to give me an art 2 class. i did not
have these kids during their art 1 so i have no idea what they already
know. i plan on giving them some sort of questionnaire to find out. I
wanted to ask if anyone has any great ideas of how to start off the year
with an art 2 class or just any great lesson ideas in general for art 2.

My second question....I am also looking for great activites to break up
the hour and a half class period on days where students may not be working
on projects the entire class.
